In most groceries and supermarkets in our region, "the notebook" is part of the relationship with customers. It's also a source of silent losses: a lost page, an unreadable line, an amount nobody wrote down.
Problems with the paper notebook
- You can't see the total owed to the shop at a glance.
- Customers question amounts and there's no clear statement.
- There's no limit, so balances grow beyond what the shop can carry.
- Reminding customers is awkward, so payments slip.
What a digital debt book gives you
An account per customer: the bill is added straight from the till when you sell "on account", and payments are recorded with dates. The balance is calculated automatically — no manual adding up.
Credit limits
Set a ceiling for each customer. When a bill would go over it, the system warns you before completing the sale, so you decide consciously instead of being surprised at the end of the month.
Statements and reminders
One tap sends the customer a polite message with their balance and recent purchases. Clear numbers reduce disputes, and regular reminders speed up payment.
What you gain
- The total owed to the shop, instantly.
- Debt ageing: who is more than a month behind?
- A better relationship with customers, because everything is clear.
